Reeling In Over 10,000 Homes Every Week

Thank you for you interest in the reminder. The reminder is advertising that works. According to a recent independent audit by Circulation Verification Council:
98.1% receive the reminder every week
80.1% normally read the reminder every week
79% frequently purchase products or services from ads seen in the reminder

Results are our specialty. Advertising regularly in the reminder will send customers your direction. Since 1965, our target market has generated business for all of our advertisers. This makes the reminder a reliable advertising investment.
The uniqueness of the reminder lies in the fact that it penetrates an area between two major metropolitan cities in North Central Iowa. To effectively cover all of this market with any other print media, you would need to use seven weekly and two daily newspapers. This makes the reminder the best print to buy in our market.
